I think that one's world view is broadened immensely by travel, especially by immersing oneself in another culture, learning its language and arts. I can't help but believe that millions of red state Trump supporters believe his BS because they are so utterly uneducated, uncultured, and have never really travelled (beyond the typical American tourist traps). Boorish lot.
